The remains of a baby have been discovered in undergrowth near a cemetery in Edinburgh.

Police have cordoned off the area around the Restalrig Path, close to Seafield cemetery.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said officers were called to the Seafield area of Edinburgh around 5pm on Sunday after a member of the public reported having discovered what they thought were human remains.

DCI David McLaren told Sky News: "It's too early to form an opinion around what's happened, we are keeping an open mind in terms of how the baby came to be here and, indeed, how it passed away."

"At this stage, I would appeal for the mother of the child to come forward.  Regardless of how the child ended up here, the mother of that child will, perhaps, need medical assistance or, indeed, emotional support."

"So our focus, in the first instance, is to track her down and take care of her welfare, while we establish exactly what has happened here."

The baby's remains were discovered near the path by a dog walker. A post-mortem is being carried out to establish the cause of death.

Sky News understands the infant was born recently but the sex has not been revealed.

Police officers stood on a footbridge over Seafield Place which was cordoned off, and a forensic team was at the scene.

There was police tape around a section of the residential street which borders the public park known as Leith Links.

Seafield Cemetery and Crematorium is privately-run and remained open today.

A worker at a car body repair centre on Seafield Place said he arrived to find lots of police activity outside the shop.
